 ;D

Gifted star wants the world to know she’s all grown up. She parties like there’s no tomorrow, according to online reports. Apart from club-hopping, she goes on drinking sprees with close pals.

GS has picked up other bad habits from those rowdy companions—like defying elders. Alarmed, Feisty Mom attempted to set GS straight. After a heated argument, GS somehow succeeded in having FM booted from her entourage.

After all, GS is now of legal age and can go anywhere without parental supervision

crush ko pa naman ito at gustong gusto ko yung show nya, bakit duon parang ang bait bait nya

Fortunately, hindi yan nagsusungit when she sees my wife and I. They move in the same circles kasi and she knows she can get media mileage from the wifey. Pero kita mo pa din na snob sya -- she's so warm with my wife, pero sakin matipid na ngiti lang ang binibigay. :)

Correcting a Major Faux Pas
http://www.fashionpulis.com/2012/04/correcting-major-faux-pas.html#comment-form

Sometime ago, Aesthetics Specialist (AS) gave an expensive branded bag to a talent manager (TM) out of goodwill. TM has a stable of talents who are/were part of the business of AS. Upon seeing the bag, TM commented that it was a very good replica and soon enough, AS got wind of what TM said. To save face and avoid further embarrassment, AS immediately went to the local store that sold the real thing, bought one, and sent it to TM. Since AS bought the first bag from a flight attendant, AS thought it was genuine. AS, of course, had not yet realized that TM has one of the sharpest eyes when it comes to high-end bags.

Do you know who AS and TM are?


Da who?  ???  ???  ???

O, game na ulit!!!

Vice Ganda, nagiging monster na?!
http://www.pinoyparazzi.com/vice-ganda-nagiging-monster-na/

MUKHANG HINDI na magiging maganda ang takbo ng career ni Vice Ganda.

Aba, sari-saring negative feedback na ang naririnig namin sa kanya. Mas malala ang huli naming nabalitaan na nag-resign na ang director ng It’s Showtime na si Bobet Vidanes dahil sa kanya.

Nagiging sobrang pasaway na raw si Vice. Lumaki na nang husto ang ulo nito at pumasok siguro sa kanyang mind na he can get away with practically anything and everything he does.

What Vice probably doesn’t know is that may katapusan ang kasikatan, may sunset sa bawat sunrise and he has to realize that not everyone working with him is happy.

Nasa bakasyon yata ngayon si Vice. Tingnan natin ang kanyang magiging reaction sa pagbibitiw ng director niya sa show.

May nabalitaan pa kaming sa isang show niya sa isang malayong probinsiya ay sumakit ang ulo ng producer dahil sa kanyang mga demands.

Has Vice become a monster? We think so!

The Grouchy Smile
Despite her huge success, this singer/actress/in-demand endorser (SA) has always been known to be a smiling, sweet and grounded kind of girl. An attitude so rare in the industry where stars behave like Gods and Goddesses at the mere inclusion in a movie or teleserye.

Apart from her fans who are of her age, SA has also a huge following among mothers as they see in her the epitome of a model-daughter - obedient, respectful and devoted to family.

But unknown to most, being a very passionate artist that she is, SA has also her share of "diva mode." In one of her US concerts, a talented and pretty homegrown half-Pinay singer (HS) was one the performers. After knowing that she'll be sharing the stage with HS, SA put her foot down and made her requirement clear that she should not be doing a number with talents like her.

The production people were shocked, yet had no choice but to agree to the whims of suddenly-demanding SA. They soon realized that rumors about her are true after all: that inspite of her big status, SA has unexplained insecurity.

Is SA's behavior brought about by her self-admitted plain looks when put side-by-side with other pretty performers? Your guess is as good as mine.

Rage Over a Bar
http://www.fashionpulis.com/2012/04/designers-rage-over-bar.html

In a party hosted by a fashion designer, a guest (G) was saying unsavory comments about an ice cream bar. G was telling the other guests the product was overhyped and overrated. She kept saying she will not even bother buy it. What she did not know was one of the brand ambassadors (BA) was among the guests who heard her tactless comments. BA kept his poise and ignored the comments of G. When G saw BA, she came over and wanted to give him a kiss. In the process, she even reached out for his chest to squeeze it as a friendly gesture. Of course, BA was aghast because G was behaving as if they were close. Besides, BA did not personally know G and he heard her belittle the product he was endorsing.

Then, BA addressed G, "Don't come near me, and never touch me again!" The embarrassed G started bad-mouthing BA in a loud voice, like saying how proud he is. Eventually, friends stepped in and calmed G. After a while, G was asked to leave the party.

Do you know who G and BA are?


Ayan na... nag-away away na sila dahil lang sa MAGNUM... hahaha.... di ko kilala yung nasa BI... wait ko nalang mga hula nyo...  ;D

AWARE KAYA si Zac Efron na unwittingly ay nagamit siya sa publicity ni Derek Ramsay?

Kalat na kalat na kasi ang photo ng Hollywood actor kasama si Derek na kuha pala sa Australia. Nagbakasyon kasi roon ang dyowa ni Angelica Panganiban at tiyempo namang naglalaro si Zac ng golf. Ang claim ni Derek ay si Zac ang unang lumapit sa kanya at nakipag-usap.
Anyway, nagkaroon ng media mileage ang photo nina Zac at Derek at talagang pinag-usapan.

Obviously, sa camp ni Derek nagsimulang kumalat ang photo.




Ok.... he already!!!

Party Time
http://www.fashionpulis.com/2012/04/party-time.html#comment-form

This controversial host's (H) penchant for women seems to be incurable. In spite of his age, he is always bent on proving to the world that he is a most-desired man one can ever find.

One day, a group of beauty pageant contestants were guests in his show. As expected, H was at his usual playful, vulgar self. Off and on cam, he took an obvious liking to one of the contestants (R). Backstage, with a wink, he made it known to the pageant's committee member/chaperone (S) that he was smitten by R. Privately, they whispered to each other. As it turned out, H was inviting all the 24 pageant contestants to a party he was going to host for them. S relayed the invitation to all the girls concerned.

Then the big day came. H even invited some of his close friends for a "compleat" bonding time with the girls. The party venue was splashed with all the trimmings of a party the girls will remember. Every detail was well-thought out, including the hors d’oeuvres.

But H wasn't ready for the biggest shock of the evening: Out of the 24 pretties he invited to show off, only 2 came to witness it and R wasn't even one of them.

Do you know who H is?



Papi!   :P

Supladang young actress, napaamo sa kama ni male celeb!

Iba talaga ang karisma ng male celebrity na ito sa mga babaeng nakakatikim sa kanya. Kahit nga mga suplada at matataray ang mga babaeng nakikilala ni male celebrity, pero kapag natikman na niya, napapaamo niya at binabalik-balikan siya.

Tulad na lang sa nangyari sa sikat na young actress na ito na minsan ay nakasama niya sa isang drama series. Noong una ay hindi siya type nito dahil may dine-date itong kilalang male celebrity.

Pero dahil sa pangungulit niya ay nagawa niyang matikman ang supladang young actress at nga­yon ay regular na itong bisita sa kanyang bahay. Saksi nga ang mga kapitbahay ni male celebrity kapag dumarating na lang si young actress.

Friendly naman daw ito lalo na sa mga guwardiya ng subdivision. Tinatanong niya kung nandoon ba si male celebrity at mabilis naman siyang pinapapasok.

Bilin nga iyon ng male celebrity na kapag si young actress ang dara­ting, papasukin agad dahil may pag-uusapan silang business. Tumagal nga ang sikretong relasyon ng dalawa, pero ang young actress ang sobrang na-in love sa male celebrity kaya nagsimula na itong magtanung-tanong sa mga pinupuntahan nito kapag hindi sila magkasama.

Noong una ay okey lang kay male celebrity pero noong parati na itong nagtatanong at makulit na, ‘di na ito nagugustuhan ni male celebrity.

“Naku knowing si male celebrity, hindi niya feel ang ganyang babae. Feeling niya ay nasasakal na siya kaya gagawa na ito ng paraan para humiwalay na sa kanya ang babae,” kuwento ng aming source.

Isang araw ay pumunta na lang si young actress sa bahay ni male celebrity. Pero pinigilan siya ng security guard. Wala raw doon ang male celebrity.

Sinubukang tawagan ni young actress si male celebrity pero iba na ang cell number nito.

Nagmakaawa si young actress sa guard na papasukin siya at may pag-uusapan lang sila. Hindi pumayag ang guard at umalis din ang young actress.

Ang totoo ay nasa bahay lang si male celebrity at binilin niya talaga na huwag papasukin ang mapag-imbestigang young actress.

“Hindi kailangan ni male celebrity ng nagpi-feeling asawa. Okay na nagdyudyugdyugan kayo. Enjoy lang. Pero kapag may nagseryoso na, goodbye na siya sa buhay ni male celebrity.”
